That seeks no recompense—doing good works

In modest silence from the very love

Of doing good—bestowing life and strength

On high and low, on rich and poor alike;

Embracing in thy vast philosophy,

All creeds, all nations, and all ranks of men!

Holding thyself to be no higher than

The meanest wretch who claims thy charity,

Yet holding none to be of such account

As to deserve thine homage. Just to all,
